NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Roche today said that its Cobas HIV-1 and HCV next-generation viral load monitoring assays have received CE marking.

The Cobas HIV-1 assay simultaneously amplifies and detects two separate regions of the HIV-1 genome to quantify the amount of viral RNA in the patient's blood. The Cobas HCV assay employs the firm's dual-probe approach to detect hepatitis C RNA. Both assays are available for use on the Cobas 6800 and 8800 systems.
